Be well known that a kind of hydraulic vehicle brake from EP 0 996 560 A1, it can be used as running brake (service brake) and Parking Brake, and these two is operated.When utilizing running brake to carry out glancing impact, hydraulic fluid is introduced in the hydraulic pressure chamber that is limited by removable brake plunger under pressure in the conventional mode.The formation of the pressure in the hydraulic pressure chamber causes brake plunger and the displacement along the direction of brake disks of the ferrodo that is used with brake plunger, brakes this brake disks by the ferrodo that is pressing this brake disks.So be attached to the wheel of this brake disks also is braked with this brake disks in non-rotatable mode.
In order to make car brake not only also be used as Parking Brake as running brake, car brake has electric motor driven nut/shaft device.This nut/shaft device allows the mechanically actuated of brake plunger and is pressing lockup brake piston under the state of brake disks at ferrodo.
In order under the help of Parking Brake car to be parked on the bevelled road surface, need high gripping power.Can produce high gripping power by nut/shaft device, the size that is used for the motor driver of nut/shaft device must be set to transmit suitable power.
In order to provide lower powered relatively driving with save weight and installing space for nut/shaft device, in DE 10 2,005 046 991 A1, proposed to clamp Parking Brake by the gripping power that hydraulic pressure produces.Hydraulic clamp power in the braking during standstill pattern is independent of the brake pedal that is undertaken by chaufeur usually and activates and produce.More precisely, for example relevant with driving stability system (also being known as electronic stability control or ESC system) electric motor driven Hydraulic Pump is used to form hydraulic pressure in the braking during standstill pattern.Must only, the actuation member that is driven by nut/shaft device lock subsequently with the Parking Brake that hydraulic way clamps by this pump by being resisted against on the brake plunger that is subjected to displacement by hydraulic pressure.
Follow the pump operated background noise that is used for hydraulic way clamping Parking Brake to make the people feel to be disturbed usually.Attempt by damping alleviates noise problem to vibration of vehicle though made, this measure is proved to be inadequate.Therefore, consider under low engine speed, in the braking during standstill pattern, to carry out hydraulic pressure in addition and form processing.But in this case, the formation of pressure needs more time, and in this (longer) time, even noise has reduced some, but pump operated noise is still clear and legible.

The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the embodiment of the automobile braking system 10 with hydraulic parking braking function.Brake system 10 comprises two independently drgs or have the hydraulic circuit of brake circuit (circuit) disconnector of X disconnector (split) formula, for example, in the brake circuit disconnector of X separator type, each front-wheel of power actuated vehicle and the trailing wheel of opposite side are assigned in two brake circuits respectively.For simplicity, in Fig. 1, only show in detail the single brake circuit 12 that only has single car side brake 14.
At the service brake operation, provide a kind of brake pressure generation unit 16 according to the traditional approach configuration.Brake pressure generation unit 16 comprises brake pedal 18, brake servo 20, be connected to brake circuit and be used for the two the master cylinder 22 of natural aspirate storage 24 of hydraulic fluid.Different with embodiment (wherein, the pressure by pin produces the wheel brake pressure that is used for the service brake operation) shown in Figure 1 is that the present invention moving system also capable of on-line (is also referred to as EHB, EHB) the middle realization.
In single brake circuit shown in Figure 1, four valve gears 26,28,30,32 are provided; The pressure relief assembly 40 that is associated with valve gear 26 according to known manner; The pressure accumulator 34 that is used for hydraulic fluid; The pressure generation unit of Hydraulic Pump 38 forms that have the ESC hydraulic pressure unit of electrical motor 36 and drive by electrical motor 36.
Have the hydraulic pressure unit of electrical motor 36 and Hydraulic Pump 38 forms hydraulic actuators, as mentioned below, even this hydraulic actuator also worked in braking during standstill operating period.In addition, the mechanical actuator 42 and the control setup of electronic control unit (ECU) 44 forms that is conductively coupled to the electrical motor 36 of mechanical actuator 42 and hydraulic actuator also work in the braking during standstill pattern.As shown in Figure 1, can produce hydraulic clamp force component F at car side brake 14 places by hydraulic actuator 36,38
Hydr, simultaneously, can produce mechanical grip force component F by mechanical actuator 42
EPBAbbreviation EPB representative " electronic brake device ".
In the present embodiment, the machine elements of nut/shaft device form and the motor driver that provides for this machine elements are provided the mechanical actuator 42 that only schematically shows in Fig. 1.Now in conjunction with these assemblies being described in further detail with respect to the car side brake 14 shown in the longitdinal cross-section diagram of the longitudinal axis A among Fig. 2.
In case be moved, brake plunger 54 directly acts on first ferrodo 60 and (according to floating caliper (caliper) principle) via being formed on brake caliper 62 indirectly-actings on the housing 50 in second ferrodo 64.Be provided with the rotating member of brake disks 66 forms between first brake facing 60 and second brake facing 64, described brake disks 66 is connected to the wheel of vehicle in non-rotatable mode (in the mode that is not shown specifically).If as the result of the hydraulic pressure that causes in the hydraulic pressure chamber 13, brake plunger 54 is subjected to displacement to the left side of Fig. 2, and then ferrodo 60,64 is clamped on the side surface of brake disks 66 to produce gripping power (also being known as braking force or drg application force).This hydraulic clamp can take place in these two processes of process that the process and the braking during standstill of driving brake operating are operated.
Particularly, for the braking during standstill operation, car side brake 14 also has mechanical actuator, and this mechanical actuator comprises the driver element of electrical motor 68 and nut/ shaft device 70,72 forms.Electrical motor 68 can be by control unit 44 by the starting of control signal incoming call.In this case, nut/ shaft device 70,72 is converted to rotatablely moving of electrical motor 68 longitudinal movement of actuation member 74.It is interior and coaxial with longitudinal axis A that actuation member 74 is arranged on hydraulic pressure chamber 52 movably, and act on the pedestal 54 ' of brake plunger 54.By the suitable starting of electrical motor 68, can produce thus actuation member 74 along towards the direction of brake facing 60,64 to the displacement in the left side of Fig. 2 and displacement in opposite direction.
In addition, the information by the detected serviceability about vehicle of suitable sensor (not being shown specifically) is offered control unit ECU 44 to handle via incoming signal E1.These serviceability comprise the speed of rotation of the relevant wheel of brake disks 66 or vehicle, will keep the loading condition of static ground-surface degree of dip and vehicle and other thereon to detect the stopping of vehicle, vehicle under the braking during standstill pattern.For example, via incoming signal E2, keep stationary vehicle by operating to control unit 44 reception and registration need carrying out braking during standstill by the shifter (not being shown specifically) of driver's operation.In addition, under the situation of " ramp Parking (hill hold) " or " automatic parking (auto hold) " function, for example, when vehicle must no longer keep static by service braking system but by emergency brake system after surpassing the specified time section, (therefore be automatic) braking during standstill operation irrelevant with the will of chaufeur also can take place.
As explaining in preface part, the emergency brake system of prior art is that the traditional approach according to the formation of the whole gripping power of hydraulic actuator oneself participation of Parking Brake activates.Only when can following in the brake plunger back fast, just starts mechanical actuator this mechanical actuator, described brake plunger moved before described mechanical actuator by the pressure of hydraulic pressure generation, and did not need basically this brake plunger is applied external force.Actuation member 74 only just applies brute force to brake plunger 54 at the terminal of stroke of brake plunger, with the be provided with behavior (setting behaviour) of compensation brake plunger 54 after hydraulic pressure descends.As the result of the self-locking mechanism of nut/ shaft device 70,72, the gripping power that has kept hydraulic pressure to produce, and can close electrical motor 68.
Fig. 3 illustrates this traditional braking during standstill operation by pressure/time curve.From this curve, be clear that, be directly proportional (in Fig. 3, representing gripping power) with the brake pressure that in hydraulic pressure chamber 52, produces with arbitrary unit with hydraulic way by ferrodo 60,64 gripping powers that produced.Fig. 3 has also represented the stroke of actuation member 74 with arbitrary unit.Can clearly be seen that the following fact: actuation member 74 is followed fast after brake plunger 54 and (therefore, is followed after the formation of gripping power).Also can find out, actuation member 74 covered its range distance and after hydraulic pressure descends adapter to the maintenance of gripping power.By being resisted against, actuation member 74 explains on the brake plunger 54 in the surge of removing with the short time gripping power before the brake pressure of hydraulic way generation.
Diagram among Fig. 3 clearly show that the maximum hydraulic pressure pressure that reach about 120 crust at the time of run of hydraulic actuator (that is, shown in Figure 1 electrical motor 36 and pump 38) after 1.2 seconds.Therefore, also in 1.2 seconds, clearly experience the noise of the operation that is accompanied by hydraulic actuator.
Also find, utilize the hydraulic pressure generation of describing among Fig. 3, when the corresponding gripping power of hydraulic pressure that has formed with about 37.5 crust, reached about 55% maximum hydraulic pressure fluid containment volume of hydraulic pressure chamber 52.(as described in reference Fig. 3, can suppose the roughly proportional relation between hydraulic pressure and the gripping power in this case).There is shown this situation at volume/hydraulic pressure, and selected the example values of 37.5 crust, because still can realize being equal to the gripping power of this hydraulic pressure by mechanical actuator according to Fig. 4.
Still as shown in Figure 4, under the constant rate of speed of the electrical motor 36 of driving pump 38, need to form 120 crust the total times that pressure spent 55% aspirate 55% of required maximum displacement volume.Observe based on this, proposed the noise optimization operation of emergency brake system illustrated in figures 1 and 2 in the present embodiment.Noise optimization operation is basically based on the following fact: the forming of gripping power of being taken over the equivalent hydraulic force value of about 37.5 crust by mechanical actuator.In other words, before the corresponding gripping powers of equivalent hydraulic pressure that form by mechanical actuator with 37.5 crust, postpone the starting of hydraulic actuator.Therefore, can significantly reduce the total run time of hydraulic actuator and relevant noise.
In order to realize having carried out the braking during standstill operation of noise optimization in this manner, as shown in Figure 2, control unit 44 has been equipped with three control modules 44
1, 44
2, 44
3
In schematic pressure/time plot of Fig. 5, overall situation is shown in patterned mode.Can be clear that, brake plunger 54 is subjected to displacement, cause gripping power in the equivalent scope of about 0 to 37.5 crust, increasing by mechanical actuator.Before the equivalent hydraulic force value was a little less than 37.5 crust, hydraulic actuator remained inactive.
The 3rd control module 44 of control unit 44
3Be configured to activate mechanical actuator, to keep gripping power.For this reason, after about 0.4 second, reset mechanical actuator.Reset the result of mechanical actuator as this, shown in the curve among Fig. 5, actuation member 74 is followed fast after brake plunger 54.In short time after the maximum hydraulic pressure that reaches 120 crust, actuation member 74 is resisted against on the brake plunger 54 according to common mode once more.Therefore, mechanical actuator is at this hydraulic pressure value place lockup brake piston 54 and the fixing gripping power that produces by brake plunger 54.Can close hydraulic actuator (causing hydraulic pressure pressure drop shown in Figure 5) subsequently.In addition, because the locking certainly of mechanical actuator design also can be closed the electrical motor 68 relevant with this mechanical actuator.
From Fig. 5, be clear that, only need at the corresponding gripping power of equivalent hydraulic pressure place primer fluid hydraulic actuators about and 37.5 crust.Therefore, can significantly reduce the operating time of the hydraulic actuator in the braking during standstill operating process.About this on the one hand, Fig. 6 shows according to the traditional braking during standstill operation of Fig. 3 and the comparison diagram of operating according to the braking during standstill of the present embodiment of describing among Fig. 5.It is about 55% that this shows that more not only the operating time of hydraulic actuator has shortened, but also shown total brake action time decreased about 40%.The high rigidity that surpasses about 37 crust by this braking is explained the brake action time that this is shorter, and the high rigidity of this braking takes place together with relative short pressure formation time.
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show the fixed-time control of mechanical actuator on the one hand once more, show the fixed-time control of hydraulic actuator on the other hand.Or rather, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 show the starting of the electrical motor 68 (being expressed as the HPB electrical motor in the accompanying drawings) of the starting of electrical motor 36 (being expressed as the ESC electrical motor in the accompanying drawings) of hydraulic actuator and mechanical actuator respectively.The diagram of Fig. 7 is corresponding to the diagram of Fig. 5.
In Fig. 7, can find out, in the time 0, along with the startup of the electrical motor 68 (HPB electrical motor) of mechanical actuator, the operation of beginning braking during standstill.Utilize the obtainable maximum clamping force of mechanical actuator in (corresponding to the equivalent hydraulic fluid pressures of 37.5 crust) before short time reaching, after about 0.18 second, the electrical motor 36 of primer fluid hydraulic actuator (ESC electrical motor).
In the time of about 0.2 second, that is to say, relatively apace, produced the hydraulic fluid pressure of about 37.5 crust, and therefore can realize the further increase of gripping power by hydraulic efficiency gear by hydraulic actuator.For this reason, temporary transient (briefly) closes the electrical motor 68 of mechanical actuator.After about 0.4 second, reset the electrical motor 68 of mechanical actuator, and actuation member 74 follows fast after the brake plunger 54 of hydraulic actuation, and need not apply power to it substantially.Then, after about 0.74 second, reach the maximum hydraulic pressure pressure of 120 crust by hydraulic actuator, thereby also reach greatest hope drg application force.Can close the electrical motor 36 of hydraulic actuator this moment, and (that is, after about 0.76 second) is resisted against on the brake plunger 54 because after this actuation member 74 is immediately, lockup brake piston 54, thus mechanically keep the gripping power that produces with hydraulic way.
Be to be understood that, about this on the one hand, close with actuation member 74 at the electrical motor 36 of hydraulic actuator and to be resisted against on the brake plunger 54 between (as shown in Figure 8, should against the rising of the current draw of the electrical motor 68 that is expressed as mechanical actuator) and must be able to not pass through the oversize time.The startup value of electrical motor 68 can be set for this reason, adaptively.In other words, if detect between the period of energization of Parking Brake electrical motor 36 close and actuation member 74 against between time oversize, then in the operation of braking during standstill next time, start the electrical motor 68 of mechanical actuator a little earlier, vice versa.Can in EEPROM, store the startup value of the relevant or pressure correlation of time corresponding.In order to make the load on the mechanical actuator keep enough lowly, avoid being resisted against the rising of the current draw of electrical motor relevant on the brake plunger 54 68, or the current draw of electrical motor 68 is raise with any speed that is restricted to less rising with actuation member 74.
Should also be noted that electrical motor 36 at correct time primer fluid hydraulic actuator.As explained, in ideal conditions, should be at the short time actuating motor 36 before the corresponding gripping powers of realizing by mechanical actuator with about 37.5 crust of equivalent hydraulic fluid pressure.In order to determine the correct time, must make by the accessible gripping power equilibrium of mechanical actuator on the one hand, must make the moment of torsion equilibrium of the electrical motor 36 of hydraulic actuator on the other hand.For example, because actuating motor 36 when the minimum value of the current draw of the electrical motor 68 that detects mechanical actuator only, so can realize this equilibrium (with reference to Fig. 8).
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the operation of the braking during standstill of explaining in conjunction with present embodiment is not limited to make vehicle to keep static.But, for example also can in automatic parking or ramp Parking pattern, implement this braking during standstill operation.
Explained the present invention with reference to preferred implementation.But, to those skilled in the art, obviously can take multiple modification and additional measure.Therefore, scope of the present invention is only limited by appended patent claims.
